What are the SDGs?

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are embedded within the UN’s 2030 Agenda.¹ This is an ambitious 15-year strategic vision with a blueprint for peace and prosperity and the partnerships needed for people and the planet (5-Ps) for the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.  The UN’s transformative vision calls for a just, equitable, tolerant, open, and socially inclusive world in which the needs of the most vulnerable are met and no one is left behind.
